I ran a poll last week and the results are in. Spoiler: I’m not surprised.

Here’s how it started:

“Over 2 years, a vendor promised partnership but delivered self-interest and fiction instead.
They chased new deals while leaving us waiting in the wings.”

So I asked:
When a vendor treats you like an afterthought, what do you do?

1️⃣ Stay and hope it improves
2️⃣ Push for a real two-way relationship
3️⃣ Start looking for someone who actually sees your value

Only 8% said they'd stick around.
And 80% said they'd start looking for someone new.

Honestly? Those results gave me peace of mind that walking away was the right call.

Now for the fun part: what’s your favorite “you did this to yourself” saying?

✨ You kicked the hornet’s nest-now deal with the stings.
🎲 You rolled the dice..now take the number.
🧹 You made the mess..now clean it up.
🐂 You poked the bull..hope you can climb a fence.

👀 Well look at that..
the consequences of your own actions showed up.

Or my personal favorite:

You mess with the Phone…
you get the Bill 🤣 🧾
Thanks for playing along.

Do you have a favorite saying?
